I get something similar from my mother, although it's not about diabetes.
I suffer with depression and any (and every) time I'm a bit quiet or feeling a bit introverted she says "oh you're feeling down?" "it's because you've come off of some of your meds"... ARGH!!
Then again if I so much as glance at a bar of chocolate she slaps the back of my hand and says "NO" like she's talking to a small naughty child (I'm 31...!) but then gets uppity if I don't eat potatoes/bread/rice/anything else she tries to feed me that I know will have an effect on my blood sugar...
I think the most annoying thing is "ooh mind your blood sugar!" when I eat anything or the people that tell me what I should/shouldn't be eating even though they don't have diabetes or don't know anyone with it; they still know more than the person with it... :roll:
